Looking for opinions on speakers for learning/bedroom setup. Here are my three options:
KRK rocket 5's (pair) with cables and stands: $300
Pair of Behringer B212A powered speakers with cables and stands: $570
One Mackie SRM450: $560
Any other recommendations...
I have two cdj800, korg zero 4 mixer, traktor pro
thanks for any help!

I love my KRK Rokit 5 Gen 2's. I'd also recommend getting the 10s subwoofer.

I used to monitor with a pair of Rokits at home and they were wonderful but they aren't something I would consider playing out with though. So if you are considering playing out at least the Behringers or the Mackie would allow you to do both.

For home the KRKs are more hen enough to wake the neighbors! Those things pack a serious punch for their size.

Might want to consider a pair of M-Audio Studiophile BX8s as well in there.

For bedroom/home use with your setup, the KRK should be good enough. I owned a pair of those and I liked them a lot. You definately don't want to use the KRK or gigs though because those are studio monitors. For gigs and stuff, you'll be better off getting JBL, Mackie, B-52, etc. Hope that helps.

your gona want to play out at some point so id get pa's for sure. out of the two id get the Behringer B212A's simply because they come with stands, cables, everything you need to play your own gig. the mackie is super nice but its less practical for playing out because there's only one, and it doesn't come with a stand which is kind of important. Those behringers are going to be plenty loud for anything you will do, and you'll have a much fuller sound with a speaker on each side of you while practicing instead of just one. the choice is yours bra. just follow your heart.
